"No wonder the Swansea fans were booing the players. You look at Bob Bradley and say "good luck mate with that set of players" if they're going to put that lack of effort in."

Fellow pundit Danny Murphy also offered his opinion. He said he was hoping to see Swansea react to their position in the league and give the home crowd a sense that the players cared.

He added: "You've got to let the team you're playing against know they can't take the Mickey out of you and if that means putting a few tackles in and letting people know you're there, then that's what you've got to do. Swansea didn't do that."

Players were absent from pre season because of the Euros. Players were sold without the then manager (who did a very good job in difficult circumstances) being involved in the decisions. A manager with limited experience, and none at all at this level, has been appointed who does not seem to know where his squad's strengths lie.
What do you expect?
To be honest, the Swans would have a hard time holding their own in the Championship as things stand.

The players should be made to listen to this analysis. It really brings it home. If there is an issue within the players ranks, this is why there is a club captain - to bring the problem to the attention of the management. Surely if they want a less confrontational approach then a quiet word with Curt could get the message back. That said, for the amount of money these players are being paid, they should work their socks off - wherever they are on the field. I wonder if one or two were trying not to get injured before the internationals??

I'm not defending the players (apart from Leon), but this is the 4th system with the 4th combination of players in 4 games. Do you think that maybe they hadn't a clue what was expected because of the change in manager and the new guys ever changing requirements?

Well the football legend has spoken. Could not agree more with Mr Shearer. What was the conversation between Rangel and Barrow I wonder in your photo. Well Angel has always provided committment since he has been with the Swans - same with Leon. But others and there are many there not so sure. New players with committment and desire are needed now. I fear, however, that if there are no wins shortly against teams not so far above us then it is Championship next season. Some fans who have been there for years have accepted this already. To compete at PL you need a bit of class. The recruitment policy has been poor.
